Last Day of the Weekend

That Scarf Again--Sunday, 11/29/15

This outfit is so, so sophisticated.

From pennypincherfashion.com

My version, from all rugged cotton thrift store pieces, not so much.

Beige T with sequins (thrifted, Target), $2.00/wear+
Brown cotton pants (thrifted, Nine and Company), $0.22/wear
Olive blazer (thrifted, Maurice's), $1.00/wear+
Fuchsia/cream/olive tie dye scarf (Target), $4.00/wear
Tan ankle boots by Easy Spirit, $9.41/wear+

Outfit total: $16.63/wear

But it was comfortable, seasonally appropriate, and can we just say bright pink tie dye for the win?  (I thought it was a funny coincidence that I wore the same scarf on Friday, the end of Part 1 of the long holiday weekend, as I did today.) 

Also, I always feel right wearing military green when playing Fallout because my character wears combat armor in this shade of green.

This is not my character (the screenshots are not working for me, boo).  It is Reilly, the leader of the mercenary group Reilly's Rangers.  The Rangers became fans of mine after I saved their collective asses from some super mutants who had them stranded on the roof of an abandoned hotel.  When I brought (most of) her team back safely to their base, Reilly gave me a set of their armor as a reward. 

I just looked up the armor on the wiki and found that it "is the strongest non-powered armor available in the game, and for players who value Agility over Strength, the Ranger armor is preferable to power armor as it grants nearly identical Damage Resistance (1-6 points lower in most cases, 11 points lower than the unique T-51b power armor and the Enclave Hellfire armor) without sacrificing Agility and movement speed or increasing the chance of detection while sneaking....Further, unlike Power Armor, Combat Armor requires no special training to use." 

 I actually just this weekend completed the quest where I got the T-51b power armor they mention, but I haven't gotten trained to use it, and I'm not sure I will ever use it.  My character is very strong (maxed out Strength stat plus Strong Back perk) but I play her as a sneaky small guns specialist who is also a compulsive scavenger/thief--the extra 13 pounds of carrying capacity from wearing combat armor instead of power armor could be used to bring a bunch of teddy bears or Iguana-on-a-Stick back home!

In other news...Speaking of teddy bears: for something just absolutely silly, you must see this clip that Tam sent (about 5 minutes long).  It features Benedict Cumberbatch, otters, a teddy bear, and a wide-eyed-with-clearly-mixed-emotions Johnny Depp. Good stuff, people.

Hey, did you know we have to go back to work tomorrow?  What the hell????
